LG Marquee has root!

tcaudill01 · Oct 9, 2011

I have a Marquee and have successfully rooted using http://androidnerds.net/2011/10/08/lg-esteem-oneclickroot-now-ready/. Apparently the LG Esteem is close enough for this to work. After install, you will need to manually update superuser via the market.
Thanks to Hoovhartid over at androidcentral forums for suggesting this.

Fatcobrah, if you can give me instructions how to back it up, I will be glad to upload it. I have root access but not CWM recovery.

install Rom Manager from the market

tcaudill01 · Oct 10, 2011

ROM manager doesn't give an option for my phone for CWM and you can't back up your ROM without it.
Sorry but not risking bricking this thing if I make the wrong choice.

+1.and you can use adb to pull all files and boot.img ,and we can test it in a safer way

tcaudill01 · Oct 10, 2011

Okay guys, I thought what the hell, I'll try the LGE Black option in ROM manager and see what happens.
IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Use the volume keys to move and the search button to select.
I have backed up the ROM from the Marquee and loaded on Mediafire.

The back up wasn't good, so i pulled the link. Sorry!

Hope this helps.

tcaudill01 · Oct 10, 2011

Sorry folks, I don't think the backup is any good. I tried another and it looks the same. It is too small and doesn't have musch data.

Can someone point me to, or step me through, how to pull all the files with adb. I'll be glad to pull and post.

first of all,you need a adb.exe

you can get it from super-one-click,or android sdk,google it

for example,we pull files at d:\system
copy adb files in d:\system
and then,open cmd(win+R,enter cmd)

connect your phone before we start.
type

Code:

d:
adb pull /system .\system

ok then it will pull all the system files into d:\system

does it back up to a directory on the SD card? if it does, you need all the files in the directory. there should be a few .img files along with the nandroid.md5 file. put them all in a zip and upload it.

look in sdcard: \clockworkmod\backup\

the directory the files are in should be named with a date+time stamp

Any chance?

I've already tried the CWM backup and it is no good, only about 18 meg in size and missing almost everything important.

That is why I was trying to get directions on how to use ADB to pull system files and image from the phone.

1. Download Android SDK http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
2. Install it on C: (not on Program Files for Easy Access)
3. Connect your phone through USB with debugging on
4. Open Command propt from your PC. (windows button + r / type "cmd" without quotes)
5. On command prompt type "cd c:\Android\ASDK\platform-tools" (without quotes then press Enter)
6. Then type "adb pull /system" (without quotes then press Enter)
7. wait till it's finished pulling the files

Now go to C:Android\ASDK\platform-tools. Copy all files now, zip it. Upload, they'll just exclude/disect the adb ones.

this is interesting. I'm going to try to use this method for rooting our P970.

Advices are welcome

tcaudill01 · Oct 11, 2011

Okay, I used ADB and was able to pull the system, boot.img and recovery.img.

Not sure if any of these are correct. The system file is HUGE (434mb zipped) but looks like every thing is there. Both boot and recovery are 5.00mb each.

If this looks right and is what you are after I will upload it to mediafire.

Let me know.

Yes... that's exactly what we need... just zip it and upload it...
